I have been trying to install Ubuntu 16.04 on my desktop which has a GTX 1060 like I stated in the title.
Whenever it attempts to boot into the installer I get a blank screen.
I tried pushing the down arrow and changing the settings to reflect nomodeset which I saw in some other posts, and this does not work for me.
I cannot use my onboard graphics port because I do not have the cable for it, nor the extra few bucks to go buy one.
What are my options here?
Edit
One of the messages I get from my monitor is screen resolution out of range change resolution 1920x1080 60hz.
So just to be clear, I cannot even install ubuntu onto my system. I had it installed previously with this graphics card but I installed it with another card and then installed the drivers and swapped cards (I no longer have that other card).
Edit 2:
I used nomodeset and vga=795 in the boot options during boot to correct this.
